Russian political analyst: The upcoming presidential elections in Syria reflect a democratic situation
MOSCOW, (ST)_Former member of the State Duma and Russian political analyst Darya Mitina has affirmed that holding the Syrian presidential elections reflects the democratic situation which Syria is going through.
She told the correspondent of the Syrian News Agency (SANA) in Moscow that she was with the international observers who came to follow up on the election process of the People’s Assembly in May 2012, and she noticed the honesty of the elections and the political pluralism that Syria is witnessing, which the Americans and their allies claim doesn’t exist.
Moreover, Mitina said that for more than 10 years the Turkish regime has been trying to destabilize the internal situation in Syria in the service of its narrow interests and its aggressive activities in the region.
She added that the Russian people have never trusted the Turkish regime, but they have full confidence and respect for Syria, which has remained steadfast in the face of terrorism and its backers.
